The Nintendo Switch launch lineup has received another boost this morning with news suggesting that Snipperclips will be available on March 3rd.

This news comes via Daan Koopman, a writer/YouTuber for GoNintendo.com who is based in Holland.

According to Koopman a Dutch PR email has confirmed the following details:

- Snipperclips available at launch on March 3- European price is €19.99- three modes: WORLD (1-2 players, co-op), PARTY (2-4 players, co-op) and BONUSGAME (2-4 players, competitive)- free demo on day one as well- limited edition bundle on day one that includes a download code as well as a set of Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Con

Snipperclips is a co-operative puzzle game for up to four players.

Players control characters named Snip and Clip, who each possess shaped bodies that can be rotated in place but when two characters overlap each other, one player can cut the overlapped portion out of the other player, altering the shape of their body.

This inventive mechanic can then be used to creatively solve various puzzles, each with unique objectives.
